Ottawa Rib Fest

Thursday (Thorsday, for all ye vikings out there) the rib fest began, and will end on Sunday - tomorrow! So get out there and have some meat!

Pretty much the entire Sparks Street is dedicated to the
festival. And, as one of the platters is aptly, named it's a
vegetarian's nightmare.

Ribs. Chicken. Brisket. Pulled pork. I was looking for Boss
Hogs, who are said to be the best at the fest. However, I must have came
in at the wrong side. Unable to find them, I went with a half rack from
Sticky Fingers,
and a pulled pork sandwich from Crabby's.

That definitely did it for me. I had a Propeller beer when I
got in to wash it all down with. I would like to return but am unsure if
I can make it out. Maybe this time some ribs and chicken...

While waiting to meet up with people, I went to Chapters
which was a mistake...because I found another author / series of
interest to me.

Joe Abercrombie.

He begins with The Blade Itself.... I am hoping to getting some more writing done this weekend, not counting blog posts.
